- STEAM ACADEMY
Two Elite Programs. One Unforgettable Summer.
Not all summer programs are created equal. At STEAM Academy, we run two of the most rigorous, results-driven youth programs in Riverside County — under one roof, designed to work together or stand completely on their own.
Two Elite Programs

THE FUSION LAB · STEAM INNOVATION CAMP
THE FUSION LAB — WHAT IS IT?
The Fusion Lab is a high-energy Maker Space built for the next generation of engineers, scientists, and inventors. Set inside our 5,400 sq. ft. state-of-the-art innovation facility in Corona, we pair University-level Lead Engineers and Scientists with professional-grade hardware — and a strict intake limit of 16 researchers per room.
This isn’t a daycare with science kits. Your child will fabricate, build, code, and present real projects — the same way real engineers do.

Program 2 · The Linguistic Core
THE NEURO-INNOVATION ACADEMY
WHAT IS IT?
The Science of Reading. Finally, Applied Correctly.
By 3rd grade, students shift from ‘learning to read’ to ‘reading to learn.’ If your child is guessing at words, they aren’t just falling behind in English — they are hitting a wall in every subject.
Most summer programs offer generic ‘literacy enrichment.’ We don’t. We use the UFLI Foundations Protocol — the same evidence-based system developed by the University of Florida Literacy Institute — to replace guessing habits with 100% decoding accuracy.
Your child is taught by UFLI-Certified Clinicians. Not general camp staff. There is a difference.
Program Dates
July 6, 2026 -July 30, 2026 (4 Weeks)
The Method
Our Multi-Sensory Loop approach simultaneously engages seeing, hearing, articulating, and writing graphemes and phonemes—creating a "neural superhighway" connecting auditory and visual brain centers.
Ages
Incoming Kindergarten – 5th Grade
The Skill
At Neuro-Innovation Academy, we teach children to decode (read) and encode (spell) simultaneously. By mastering the English code from both directions, students achieve 100% orthographic mapping—words permanently stored in memory.
Clinical Ratio
8:1 — UFLI-Certified Clinicians
Progress Reports
We track every milestone with precision. Using validated Progress Monitoring tools, we measure WCPM (Words Correct Per Minute) and Accuracy Mastery to ensure your child's growth is visible and measurable
Max Per Level
16 Seats
Certificate
Science of Reading Certificate issued weekly
Format
Half-Day — AM or PM
Neuro-Literacy Survival Kit
$60 one time fee - Includes: Magnetic Grapheme Tiles, Tactile Blending Board, and UFLI Decodable Success Binder
THE INVESTMENT IN THEIR FUTURE
Three Levels. One Goal: Decode Everything.
The Neuro-Innovation Academy serves three distinct reader profiles, each with a tailored clinical pathway designed to meet them exactly where they are in their literacy journey.
Emerging Reader (Level A) & Stalled Reader (Level B)
-
Session Time: 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM
-
Level A Focus: Incoming K-1st graders solidifying the Alphabetic Principle
-
Level B Focus: 2nd-3rd graders plateaued on vowel teams and blending
The Bridge (Level C)
-
Session Time: 12:30 PM – 3:30 PM
-
Level C Focus: 3rd-5th graders struggling with multisyllabic words and fluency
The Data Promise
You Will See the Progress. Every Week.
We believe in full data transparency. Every Thursday, you receive a visual Growth Plot showing your child’s WCPM (Words Correct Per Minute) and phonics mastery level — in black and white.
You don’t have to wonder if it’s working. You’ll see it.
ENROLLMENT
Before enrollment, every family receives a complimentary 20-minute Literacy Snapshot so we can place your child in the exact level that matches where they are — not just their grade. Only 8 seats are available per level. Once they fill, we move to a waitlist.
- THE FULL-DAY UPGRADE — LITERACY + FUSION LAB
Half-Day Reading Program. Full-Day Opportunity.
The Linguistic Core is a powerful half-day experience — but for families who need full-day coverage, or whose child is ready for even more, we’ve made it easy. Simply add the Fusion Lab to your Literacy enrollment and your child moves seamlessly between programs without ever leaving the building.
